How the government's punishing of the exposure of official wrongdoing can linger for years
A Taliban suicide bomber posing as a messenger of peace blew himself up near Afghanistan's newly appointed intelligence chief on Thursday, seriously wounding him, officials said.
He said that people in the neighborhood knew Mr. Khalid used the house, which has at least two perimeter walls.
Shuja Momuzai, 31, who manages a house a couple doors from Mr. Khalid's guest house, said he heard an explosion shortly after 3 p.m., after which he saw Mr. Khalid being evacuated.
